Exercise Profile

Train Push-up Overview

The Train push-up workout is a bodyweight exercise routine that primarily targets the chest muscles.

It involves performing various push-up variations, such as wide push-ups and diamond push-ups, to effectively engage the chest.

While the workout also engages secondary muscles like the triceps and shoulders, its main focus is on building a strong and defined chest.

Train Push-up Instructions

  1. Start in a high plank position with your hands directly under your shoulders and your body in a straight line.
  2. Engage your core and glutes, keeping your neck and spine neutral.
  3. Lower your body towards the floor, bending your elbows to a 90-degree angle, while keeping your elbows close to your sides.
  4. Pause for a moment at the bottom, then push through your hands to extend your arms and return to the starting position.
  5. Repeat the movement, focusing on using your chest, shoulders, and triceps to push your body up and down.
  6. Continue performing the train push-up exercise for the desired number of repetitions.

Train Push-up Tips

  1. Start with a proper warm-up to activate your chest muscles and prevent injury.
  2. Position your hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart to target the chest muscles more effectively.
  3. Engage your core and keep your body in a straight line from head to toe throughout the exercise.
  4. Lower your body slowly and with control, allowing your chest to come close to the ground.
  5. Push through your palms and squeeze your chest muscles as you return to the starting position.
  6. For advanced progression, elevate your feet on a bench or step to increase the intensity and challenge your chest further.
